“Knowing God”

Psalm 23

February 11, 2018

Introduction:

1. Knowing God in a personal way. Psalm 23:1.

1. God nourishes the inner and outer person. Psalm 23:2-3

III. God is with us in the dark valleys. Psalm 23:4

1. The good Shepherd is also a bountiful host. Psalm 23:5

1. God guarantees the future. Psalm 23:6

Questions for reflection:

• Can you say with confidence, “The Lord is my shepherd?” If not, why not?
• God is in the business of refreshing and restoring our soul. How has God
  restored your soul in the past? Are you taking advantage of those means of
  refreshment today?
• What does it mean that in the valley of the shadow, “You are with me?”
  How can we be sure of and recognize God’s presence with us today?
